NEWS & EVENTS

A couple of weeks ago, I had the very special opportunity to adventure along the Silk Road with other students from my college for about 13 days. ChinaContact created a wonderful trip for us that definitely enhanced our short-term stay with The Beijing Center! The excursion was filled with many incredible experiences as we journeyed from Xi’an all the way to Kashgar, making stops in Tianshui, Lanzhou, Xia’he, Dunhuang, and Turpan along the way.

Join us for our annual Thanksgiving fundraiser dinner!

In the Jesuit tradition of being of service to those in need and in the spirit of giving thanks, we invite you to join our annual fundraiser dinner event on Sunday, November 17, 2019. This year’s theme will be the “Feast of Bartimaeus” and will be held at the University of International Business and Economics International Exchange Mansion, with our university, non-profit and business partners, scholars, professors, alumni, students, and their families!

Hello everybody, my name is Mingyue Du – that is my Chinese name. You can also call me by my English name, Danni. I’m a junior studying at the University of San Francisco as an accounting major.

When I arrived at TBC in January I wasn’t really sure what I’d be doing, but upon arrival, I was asked to help with the research aspects of The Beijing Center: to plan and take on a research project and to help plan some events around research activities. So, I was able to do that and learned a lot about Matteo Ricci. I helped to re-publish a book, of some of Matteo Ricci’s letters translated into English and to organize a panel discussion about the letters of Matteo Ricci and their significance, both for scholars and for expatriates living in China today as a spiritual source.

Can you briefly introduce yourself?

Hello, I’m Nicole Marchesi. I’m a summer intern abroad student with The Beijing Center. I’m a student at Loyola Marymount University with a major in marketing and a minor in Chinese.
